I know this is silly but I hate it when women say “That is a lovely piece”. It’s a friggen table! Just say table! It does not make it more valuable because you called it a “piece”.
Whew! I feel better now.

#YOLO! I hate hashtags and I can’t stand adults who say YOLO (well, really anyone, for that matter). Oh, and musicians who use autotune. And anyone who wears banana clips or scrunchies in their hair. And pencils. I can’t stand the feel, smell, or sound of them. Sorry, mechanical pencils only for me!

I get so nervous using a box cheese grater, you wouldn’t believe it – I always just know I’m going to bust my knuckles. I absolutely agree with the well done steak, the cow’s already dead so why kill it again?

*People who post on FB what they had for breakfast, lunch, dinner…snacks! I DON’T CARE!!
*Stupidity….alas, I have zero tolerance!
*People who say, “back in the day”….the day of What?
*eating with your mouth open…ew, really?
*talking during a movie….ugh, go outside! no one wants to hear your random thoughts!
*ALL reality TV!
*dropped calls!!
*people without kids giving parental advice
*being behind someone going UNDER the speed limit with no opportunity to pass! grrr
